The equals(Duration) method of Duration Class in java.time package is used to check whether this duration is equal to the duration passed as the parameter.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Duration otherDuration)
Parameters: This method accepts a parameter otherDuration which is the duration to which this duration will be compared to.
Return Value: This method returns a boolean value showing whether this Duration is equal to the otherDuration or not.
Below examples illustrate the Duration.equals() method:
Example 1:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method import java.time.Duration;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Duration using parse() method
Duration duration1
= Duration.parse( "P2DT3H4M" );
// Duration using ofDays() method
Duration duration2
= Duration.ofDays( 10 );
// Compare the durations
// using equals() method
System.out.println(duration1
.equals(duration2));
}
} |
Output:
false
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method import java.time.Duration;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Duration using ofHours() method
Duration duration1
= Duration.ofHours( 5 );
// Duration using ofHours() method
Duration duration2
= Duration.ofHours( 5 );
// Compare the durations
// using equals() method
System.out.println(duration1
.equals(duration2));
}
} |
Output:
true
Example 3:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method import java.time.Duration;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Duration using ofDays() method
Duration duration1
= Duration.ofDays( 5 );
// Duration using ofHours() method
Duration duration2
= Duration.ofHours( 5 );
// Compare the durations
// using equals() method
System.out.println(duration1
.equals(duration2));
}
} |
Output:
false
